I was driving along last night at about 2300, and saw a burst of Fireworks from the 15-501, in the direction of Durham.  That is likely it... but why the fireworks? Which brings me to another question: What are the relevant pyrotechnics laws in NC regarding purchase, storage, and use of fireworks? Is it a 'limited window' purchase type of system (one week before and after July 4)? Or a ''No, no, no' New York State type policy? Just wondering. :)
